Are you interested in helping NYU achieve excellence?

NYU is one of the most highly regarded universities in the country, and, indeed, the world. It's exciting to be part of an enterprise that has gained such global acclaim and to be part of building on that reputation. We encourage you to consider NYU as an employer so you, too, can experience excellence.

The Employment Application System is designed to run in a web browser over the Internet. The system supports browser versions of Netscape 4.7 and above and Internet Explorer 4.0 and above. However some of the older browser versions are less powerful than newer versions, so the appearance of certain screens and printed documents may be slightly askew.

The site also requires you to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. This is a free download available at www.adobe.com.

It is recommended that you do not use your browser's "Back", "Forward" or "Refresh" buttons to navigate the site, or open a new browser window from your existing window. This may cause unexpected results, including loss of data or being logged out of the system. Please use the navigational buttons within the site.

We post Administrator and Professional jobs and Service Staff (Local 1, Local 810) jobs as they open. Office and Clerical (Local 3882) and Laboratory and Technical (Local 3882) jobs are posted on a weekly basis, usually Mondays. All jobs are removed from the website as soon as they are filled.

You have the opportunity to search for the job(s) that interests you.You can search for jobs by criteria such as the job posting number, the department from which the job is available, or job title. You can also use key words to search for jobs.

Everyone who applies for a position is required to create an application which includes certain information. Any required information is denoted with an asterisk (*). However, the more information you provide, the easier it will be to effectively evaluate your skills, abilities and qualifications.

You must click SAVE AND CONTINUE TO NEXT or SAVE AND STAY ON THIS PAGE to save the information you have entered. If you close your browser prior to clicking SAVE AND CONTINUE TO NEXT or SAVE AND STAY ON THIS PAGE your application and account will be saved, but you will lose the information on the last page that was not saved.

You will be able to submit a resume and cover letter each time you apply for a position. There will be directions prompting you how and when to attach your documents. Please note that attaching a resume does not substitute for completing the application form.

Once you have successfully completed the online application process, a confirmation number will appear for your reference. You may view the status of your application(s) at any time. To do this, you need to go to your candidate home page and click on the application status tab.

Once your application is in the system, it will be reviewed by the recruitment team or the hiring supervisor or manager from the respective unit with the vacancy. You will hear from the hiring department directly should they be interested in setting up an interview. Due to the high volume of resumes we receive, it is not possible to respond directly to all applicants, only to those whose candidacy is being pursued. In addition, the length of the recruitment process varies based on the unit’s needs. Traditionally, the process takes approximately 2-8 weeks Therefore, your patience is greatly appreciated.

A grant-funded job is based upon funding from an agency external to New York University and is therefore contingent on the agency's continued support at a full level of funding throughout the duration of the appointment. If a position is grant-funded, it will be noted in the job posting on our website.

Academic positions (faculty and research scientists) are advertised in a variety of venues (e.g., The Chronicle of Higher Education, The New York Times, professional journals) by individual schools and/or academic departments within NYU. Therefore, all inquiries should be directed specifically to the appropriate school or department.

Please visit the NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development at 133 E. 13th Street, 2nd floor, between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, or call (212) 998-4730 for further information, or go to their website at www.nyu.edu/careerdevelopment/.

With NYU's automated application system, the process for applying for jobs is fast and efficient.

Within the application you have the opportunity to "cut and paste" your resume and cover letter or upload your resume into the system.

Once you have completed the online application, you will receive a confirmation message. This verifies your application is now in the system.

Resumes of qualified applicants will become part of our general database for future consideration, and will enable us to review qualifications as positions become available.

If you are contacted by a Human Resources representative, you will be asked to sign the Application for Employment at the time of the interview.

Please note that the application process is competitive. Applications are screened and only those applicants who appear to most closely fit the job requirements will be contacted for interviews. In the event you are not contacted, your resume will remain active for searches in our database for consideration for other job opportunities for one year.

In addition to interviews, further screening is conducted for some positions. This may include testing for knowledge of specific software packages or extensive background investigations depending on the type of position.

Should you encounter difficulty in accessing the system or should you require any further assistance, please contact PeopleLink, NYU's new integrated service center for HR, Benefits, and Payroll inquiries, at askpeoplelink@nyu.edu.

We do not accept faxed or mailed resumes.

Thank you for your interest in our "commitment to excellence" and applying for a position at NYU.
